On the morning of May 25, ECHS is planning to offer shuttle bus service from Lee Middle School, Willis Road Elementary School and Poplar Road Elementary School. People attending graduation can park at these sites and ride buses to the campus.
Buses will begin running at 7 a.m. from all three sites and will continue running until all participants are back at their cars. In addition, each of these parking sites will be staffed with deputies for security purposes and volunteers that will assist with parking vehicles.
